The Do's and Dont's of Uploading Photos in your Provider Profile

Upload photos of your child care program to make it more attractive to families on MyChildCarePlan.org.

Important notes:

  • If there are any people in the photos you upload, the provider must have written consent to share their photos online. If the people in the photos are under 18, the provider must have their guardians' written consent.

We recommend uploading photos of common spaces like playrooms, classrooms, and outdoor areas.

  • Clear and bright

  • Good lighting

  • Friendly body posture

  • Smiling

  • Activities or art work that you've done with the children in your program

  • Colorful and bright

  • Your child care space (reading, arts & crafts, outdoors, etc.)


Please do not upload:

  • Close-ups

  • Dark or blurry

  • Selfies with filters, text, emojis, hats, sunglasses, etc.

  • Blurry

  • Overly bright

  • Unrecognizable

  • Dark or distorted

  • Dirty or messy areas

  • Displaying sensitive info (ID's, passport, home address, etc.)

  • Logos, text or graphics

  • Unprofessional settings


In your provider portal, you will be able to upload two images:
